Chapter 23 The world's largest regular army

How many people are there in the army of those who flock to the mines to eat and get rich? No one really counts.Calculated based on 350,000 people in a province.There should be more than 10 million people in the whole country!I believe this number is not an exaggeration. In a golden ditch that is one or two miles long, where thousands of gold diggers and mine stealers gather on the top of a mountain with two butts, you can find hundreds of places! Ten million people are tyrannizing like crazy! Ten million people are binge eating like crazy! Ten million people danced wildly to celebrate their wealth under the feasting and feasting!

Mine should not belong to them, farming is their real occupation. Those who should not go up the mountain come, but those who should go up the mountain don't know where to go? What about the millions of geological and mineral regular troops that this country needs to spend 10 billion a year to support? This era no longer belongs to us, it should have gone long ago!When I passed by the History Museum, I heard Wang Jinxi say. When people forget about you, the best option is to retire early.The young Xiao Jiye who was once all the rage whispered a word in my ear. The world is vast, and the sea of ​​people is vast... One million is not a big number in the first place.One million is an amazing team for the Republic. China's geological and mineral professional team is the largest team in the world.

It has created Angang, Shougang, Panzhihua... It has dedicated to Daqing, Shengli, Renqiu Oilfield... The wheel of history once connected the two long-distance stations of yesterday and today because of these one million bodies. However, when a guerrilla force ten times larger than its size, like a tsunami, forcibly occupied the mine, the one million generals of the Republic suddenly disappeared without a trace. I tracked, I searched, and finally I arrived at them in the desolate mountains and remote canyons.Ah, that tall drill tower, that tent city like an Egyptian pyramid!I'm so excited, I'm hopeful.Because they are the masters of the mine, as long as they exist, the mine will return to the orderly and planned scientific development track belonging to the Republic.

However, everything in reality surprised me! There, although the drilling rig was erected, it had not been rotated for half a year, and the engine had rusted into a pile of scrap iron... There, although the tents were erected, no one had lived in them for half a year. There were four large characters written on the small fumigating board: Seek your own way out.The time is clearly 5 months after I came here. What about the regular army of the Republic of China?What about the entrepreneurial heroes of the people? I couldn't help but shouted loudly, and my answer was the humming echo that could not be heard clearly in the mountains.

I had to knock down one after another of dilapidated, overcrowded temporary houses built with tents and messy bricks. The first one opened the door was a seven-foot man.His name is Yang Changyou, a Manchu.He's the captain of the Fifth General Exploration Brigade of the North China Petroleum Geology Bureau of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources. What are you doing here?go out!His voice was like a tiger roaring in the mountains, and his face was full of anger.What's the matter with you?He is from the Ministry, and he didn't mess with you... His wife pulled him into the house in a panic.He scolded: I don't know; he's from the Ministry!I'm looking for them.Oh, they sit in the office, have a newspaper and a cup of tea, and the bonuses and salaries are still paid at the end of the month, making our frontline people starve!

Later I learned that the exploration fee assigned to them by the superiors of the team this year has suddenly dropped by 571, which means that nearly 1,000 of the 1,500 regular employees will have no work or food.The captain, who was once named Tiger Crouching by the State Council of the Republic, had no choice but to tearfully announce that the employees would be dismissed. In the second house, the owner is a senior engineer.From his stacked study room and the books with his name, I learned that he is one of the few national-level tungsten mine research experts in our country.His wife told me that the tungsten mine he found was worth a total of 3 billion yuan.And now he has had nothing to do for a year.Why?I asked.His wife said: It was arranged by the team.Because all the young and strong members of the team went to the city to do construction.He couldn't do that job, so he had to stay at home.Salary change 1/3.So what is he busy with now?According to neighbors, he leaves early and returns late every day?His wife suddenly had a sore nose, and it took him a long time to say: He won't let me tell others.I left his house and came to the long-distance bus station where I was going back to the city. It was raining and it was freezing cold.An old man wearing glasses insisted on pestering me to buy him two popsicles.

Please help, it's cold, I can't sell it, I lost all my capital!What he said is the truth, but I still dare not add spears to the helmet easily.The car was about to leave, and suddenly I found that the old man selling popsicles was carrying a geological bag that I was familiar with on his shoulders.I suddenly realized; it must be him!I buy two popsicles, no, four!Hearing my call, the old man was as happy as a child, and hurriedly took out the popsicles from the wooden box.But the car was already driving, and the old man chased desperately with a popsicle in hand; finally, he stopped panting.The popsicle in my hand turned into a puddle of water, and I could clearly see that some of that water came from the eyes of the old man...

I dare to watch the assassination scene of thousands of people, the corpse exploded by explosives, and the scene of holding up bloody severed limbs to grab mines!Only can't watch this!I no longer dared to search from house to house, so I had to use a long lens to scan—— At the foot of Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai: The captain of a certain geological team announced the latest and final decision of the team at the last all-staff meeting organized by the team in 30 years: all employees will be paid 30% of their salary from now on, and they will take collective holidays to make a living by themselves.

I'm sorry everyone, I have no tasks and no money, everyone take care in the future... Before the captain finished speaking, someone cried and passed out on the spot. And just behind the mountain where the geological team is located, thousands of gold diggers are fighting bloody battles for a red gold platform!Suburbs of Luoyang, Henan: An old political cadre in a comprehensive area of ​​mines and mines was transferred to a team. Due to insufficient funds on the team, a new combination was implemented to reduce the burden. He was dismissed as a team instructor for many years and became a surplus staff. The team arranged for him to take care of explosives Library work.He was so ashamed that he was electrocuted and died.

Another employee of the team was lucky and was rescued when he hanged himself. Shaoshan in Hunan: The Fourth Census and Exploration Team of the Central South Petroleum Bureau of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources is stationed here.In the past two years, the whole team has been slow to work, and the employees have no means of living.So, overnight, the whole team launched a big theft operation.There are not many machinery and equipment that the country equips the teams that can be moved or sold.What's more, in the name of opening a shop, the waitress is prostituted to attract customers. This man is also a member of the Communist Party!

A city in Heilongjiang Province: In the early morning of this day, a strange parade suddenly appeared on the street.Among them are old people, children, and more young adults wearing hiking shoes.They held up work permits and certificates of technical titles printed with the National Ministries of the People's Republic of China. The certificates included: senior engineer, engineer, and technician, but the different personnel came from the same unit: a certain geological team. Their slogans were not loud, but they shook the entire Northeast. We want to eat!We want to work! I don't know whether my lens is covered by fog or deluge. Finally, I closed my eyes—the regular army on the mine front of the Republic no longer gave me hope like a myth. The strong son is impotent, and the weeds are flourishing. But even so, I still want to figure it out. Beijing.west four.The meeting room on the third floor of the main building of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources of the Republic: Minister Zhu Xun: Facing me and friends from the media circles in the capital.Today, he wants to answer a harsh and embarrassing question: Why are there so many groups of mines grabbing minerals in various places, while our army of millions of mines is lying on the bed with nothing to do? In a word: the geological survey fee allocated by the Qian State every year is only enough for us to eat for a little more than half a year!The problems you have reflected or seen are all facts, and some are even more serious than this. Those who should not go to the mine fell up the mountain, and those who should go to the mine fell down the mountain. How can this be explained? In the past few years, our party and government made some mistakes in guiding ideology.For example, in order to encourage the people in mountainous areas to get rid of poverty and become rich, they called on everyone to go up the mountain to mine ore.Not only will there be water, but there will be no water, so the whole situation is out of control. Farmers have only one goal: to get rich. If they want to get mines, they must occupy mines, and if they want to occupy mines, they must drive out professional teams . The mining team was attacked from two sides: the top was cut off, and the bottom was pursued. In this case, can the troops retreat to the canyon? Since the first and most important factor is the lack of funds, millions of regular troops have been starved there to die, and they are driven by others.Then why not give full play to the potential, use local materials, and enrich your own strength?Suppose, with the technology, talents and equipment of the mine team, wouldn't it be possible to keep many valuable mines from barbaric plunder?To put it bluntly, why don't the mining and mining teams take advantage of the powerful advantages provided and equipped by their own country to fight and compete with those unorganized and unscientific barbaric plundering?To squeeze them out of the mine? I suffer as much from this as you do!Of course I'm more guilty of one thing. At present, the duties and powers entrusted to our million-strong army by the state are: surveying and prospecting. That is to say, it is another matter for you to develop and mine the mineral deposits found through exploration, which is another matter, and you actually have no control over them? Probably so. Now, what we see in many places is that where most of the people mining ores are serious, the miners are either nibbling on the mines that you have built for the country, or you have just completed the exploration and found that they are capable of mining. The place of value lays out a battlefield for plunder.Based on this, the country uses tens of billions of dollars to feed, although the army of millions of land and mines is not enough to eat, it is not only consuming a huge amount of the country's financial resources.At the same time, does it also objectively encourage the mining of mineral resources by the people? This... is a difficult question to answer. One of the most basic military common sense: when the enemy and us are living in the same position, one side launches a violent attack, but the other side remains indifferent. In fact, it is supporting and instigating. I have to mourn: One of the very, very important reasons why the mass mining trend is becoming more and more intense is that China's million-dollar professional mining team is in the decline stage of survival. They are just trying to earn more with completely unfamiliar thinking and strategies. Earning an extra job for a penny, struggling to have a mouthful of food for themselves, only when they eat and grow strong, can they regain their spirits, drive away the bandits, and kill the mines. when was thatMaybe next year, maybe the year after, maybe 5 or 10 years... However, the most fundamental thing is that the button on the policy has not been fastened. What if an army of millions of professional geologists can also exploit the mineral deposits they have explored and found out, and use their powerful technology, talents, and equipment advantages to regain the losses that flow like a river from the random digging masses? This is another difficult question to answer!
